Many of these techniques are not exactly new, but an interesting post has surfaced on the self-proclaimed "troublemaker" website spacehijackers, about architectural techniques used in the construction of retail spaces that are purported to "trick" the consumer into buying more.

I've seen lists like this published from the corporate end, but it's definitely interesting to see a consumerist take on the practice, and the anticapitalist stance makes it even more entertaining.
